Five Killer Quora Answers To Small Double Buggy
A Small Double Buggy That's Easy to Push One-Handed and Carry Up and Down Stairs
This is the double stroller you need If you're looking for a light stroller that is easy to push with one hand. It's also easy to transport up and down the stairs.
It has two fixed seats that can provide up to 30 seating configurations (including a triple!). Both seats feature UPF 50+ canopy as well as windows that peek out.
Size
The Joovy Kooper X2 is a side-by-side double to single buggy stroller that can seat two children at up to 50lbs each. The seats are more spacious than other lightweight sit n stand double stroller strollers and the canopies feature large SPF 50 sunshades with peekaboo windows. Other features that are important include cup holders for one parent and a large, self-standing bin that can accommodate up to 25 lbs; swing-away bars for children to get out and in their seats; and swivel lock front wheels to make it easier to maneuver on difficult terrain. This is a great choice for suburban and urban families. It also comes with two kits that include a newborn wedgie that allows for the best position to lie flat.
Weight
The weight of a double buggy is one the most important factors that determine its ease to push. A lighter buggy is easier to lift and transport, but might not have enough suspension to deal with bumps and uneven terrain.
Check the specifications of each model carefully before you purchase. Some double buggies come with a maximum seat weight while others have a frame limit. Some double buggies are able to be folded with the seats removed, making them smaller and lighter. This is helpful when you're limited on storage space.
Tri-fold doubles are typically the lightest models, as they only require a single hand to lift the top and bottom sections. They are also smaller than buggies that are side by side and can be accessed through the majority of doors. The iCandy Geo 3 is one of the lightest tri-fold doubles on the market and can comfortably accommodate twins or a baby and toddler.
Tandem buggies are perfect for families with growing children because they begin as a single stroller, but can be modified to include a second seat or car seat, or carrycot. Some, like the iCandy Orange, offer over 30 seating configurations, meaning they can expand with your family up to a third child. They tend to weigh more than tri-fold doubles, but they're usually easier to move up and down kerbs thanks to the weight being more evenly distributed.
Folding
The most effective double pram stroller buggies for young children fold in a matter of seconds. This feature is adored by our Lab experts as they can fit the buggies into the back of their cars and save space when not being used. The Joovy Kooper X2 for example includes straps that can be pulled up over each seat and the whole thing folds down. Even our oldest testers were able to fold this tri-fold in just one hand.
The light Delta Children LX Side by Side is another great option for a compact double buggie. Its lightness is an advantage but so are the features it offers: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and the peek-a-boo window; swing-away bars to help children to get into and out of seats; and reclining chairs and leg rests designed for little ones.
Manoeuvrability
When picking a compact double pram buggy stroll, it's important to consider its maneuverability. This includes the ease for both children to ride in the buggy. Certain pushchairs, like the iCandy Orange with its 'cinema seating' (where the back seat is elevated) are better than others.
Narrow tandem buggies can be effective in this regard as can side-byside designs. Buggies with this type of design can be a little longer and could be difficult to maneuver through doorways.
The UPPAbaby Vista 2 is an excellent example of this because it's a comparatively narrow pushchair that still allows two seats to be added as well as the most important thing is the 'piggyback' board which can be used to carry the third child.
Other smaller, three wheeled models, like the phil&teds Dot, are also extremely flexible. This is especially true with its clever "dot kit" that transforms it into an inline buggie. It comes with different seating configurations that are suitable for children with different ages. It even allows the front seat to be rotated to face parents for ultimate face-to-face bonding. It also comes with a storage basket that is easy to fold. It is an excellent choice for growing families!
